President Kuleshov and director of ITF RAS Vladimir Lebedev have signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation, as well as an agreement on the establishment of a department for teaching students in areas of “Theoretical Physics” and “Physics and technology of nanostructures.” Under the agreement with IPCP, signed by president Kuleshov and academican Sergey Aldoshin, director of the Institute, a Joint Research Center of nanostructured materials for the conversion and energy storage will be created.

Earlier, an agreement was signed to establish a joint laboratory with The Kharkevich Institute for Information Transmission Problems (RAS IPPI). Alongside the establishment of the laboratory, four research projects will be launched in the field of Information Sciences, including the processing of medical images and data about the brain, find anomalies and predictive maintenance.

Signing of agreements with academic institutions was an important step in the implementation of the Cooperation Agreement concluded between Skoltech and FASO in February 2016 at the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum. Among other things, it provides for promotion of joint research and educational projects, scientific research and experimental development and the establishment of joint research laboratories.
